Lang Dissector

Description

Lang Dissector

The Lang dissector separates tissue in eye and lid surgery. Its slim working end gives careful control in small spaces.

Working end

The narrow end slips between layers. Consequently, it lifts tissue without tearing. Besides, that suits delicate work.

Where the Lang dissector is used

Eye and oculoplastic surgeons use it. For example, it helps in lacrimal and lid work. It also suits teaching.

Technique

Hold it lightly like a pen. Then move the tip in short strokes. Also, watch the tip under magnification.

Pairing

Wheeler and Axenfeld dissectors offer other shapes. Together they cover most needs. Many trays carry two or three.

Control

A light grip gives the best feel. Therefore, avoid pressing hard. Let the tip find the plane.

Inspection

Check the tip before use. Then confirm it is smooth. That protects tissue.

Lang dissector in lacrimal work

During lacrimal surgery, the sac lies in a narrow bony groove. Consequently, a slim dissector helps free it from the surrounding tissue without tearing its wall.
